Design of surgical meshes – an engineering perspective

Technology and Health Care, 2004
There is an increasing use of meshes to surgically repair or reconstruct anatomical defects. The surgical mesh firmly augments the debilitated area, provides a tension-free repair and facilitates the incorporation of fibrocollagenous tissue into the surgical mesh.

NICE responds to surgical mesh article

BMJ, 2018
The life changing complications that affect some women after vaginal mesh procedures should prompt us all to reflect on how the health system should monitor and respond to potential harms from any intervention, medicine, or device. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence first made recommendations about the use of mesh in its ...

Anisotropic evaluation of synthetic surgical meshes

Hernia, 2010
The material properties of meshes used in hernia repair contribute to the overall mechanical behavior of the repair. The anisotropic potential of synthetic meshes, representing a difference in material properties (e.g., elasticity) in different material axes, is not well defined to date. Haphazard orientation of anisotropic mesh material can contribute

Surgical Techniques for Removing Problematic Mesh

Clinical Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2013
The use of mesh and graft in pelvic reconstructive surgery has increased over the last decade. As the use of these products increased, the frequency and complexity of mesh-related complications has also increased. Management of complications resulting from mesh placement requires a thoughtful, systematic approach.

The failure of polypropylene surgical mesh in vivo

Journal of the Mechanical Behavior of Biomedical Materials, 2018
Surgical mesh materials made from fibres of polypropylene (PP) have been widely used for over fifty years. However in recent times the use of these materials has been called into question for certain surgical operations, known as "pelvic organ" or "transvaginal" procedures.

PVDF as a new polymer for the construction of surgical meshes

Biomaterials, 2002
Abdominal hernia repair is the most frequently performed operation in surgery. Mostly due to lowered recurrence rates mesh repairs in hernia surgery have become an integral component despite increasing mesh-related complications. Current available mesh prosthesis are made of polypropylene (PP). polyethylene-terephtalat or polytetrafluorethylene. though
